What watch and strap are you buying buckle for? Be patient they show up on eBay and you can usually spot the fakes if you’ve followed this thread.
Oh that’s my problem, I do have many ;-) I have two SS 30T2 from 1947 (33mm so with 18/16 strap), two SS seamaster 2846 (again 18/16), one GF pie pan connie 18/16) from 59 I think and then a chrono SS 146.006 (have to check the strap but I think I went for 20/16mm)

Hi Folks!

Found this one, and the seller writes that it for 16 mm.
But is it legit?
Cannot seem to recognize the stamp...?

Good thread. I unfortunately found myself buying new vintage inspired buckles from omega because of the fear of buying vintage that turns out to be fake. Someone with the same experience ?

Everything on this one looks bad. If that's made in Switzerland, then I'm Heidi.

If you can’t find something that looks like it on this thread then it’s fake. But it’s only a buckle…..not big deal. Most of us have a few learning curve fakes along the way.

True. You never learn for free.

Modern vintage looking buckle.

Not sure if these are still being made. If they are, then can be ordered though the Omega Boutiques.

Hi Folks..!
Looking for a gold-plated buckle for one of my Omegas, does this one look legit??

The logo looks a bit strange comparing to the others that I have....




My latest one for reference..!
